ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 4. —(Special to The News)—After
nine years of broken athletic relations between Georgia’s two
state institutions, the State University and’Georgia Tech, today
met for the first time on the gridiron. Fully 33,000 persons
crowded the big stadium at Tech Flats to see the Football
Classic of Dixie.
The crowd that welcomed the two teams as they trotted
out on the field for the first struggle after nine years was a
colorful one. The Gold and White of Tech and Black and Red
of Georgia blended with the riot of colors from milady’s new
winter bonnet and the more sombre hues of the male fans
clothing.
Both student bodies were out inmaisse and long before the
game started every available seat in tKe concrete stands anc!
in the temporary stands were taken.
Ful Strength In Game
Tech and Georgia will throw
the full strength of their squads
into the fray. The starting line
ups will bring together the best
that the two teams have. Tech
has had alight injuries during
the week. Every man, but “Six”
Carpenter, who, it was known
weeks ago, would not play
for—Tech because of an injured
knee, will be in uniform ready for
the greatest football battle that
has ever brought Tech or Georgia
into contest.
From Athens all this week have
been woe-begone expressions of
injuries to various and sundry
backs. With arrival of the Georgia
Buldogs, it was learned that every
man who was reported hurt, will
be well enough over his injuries
for him to be in uniform and an
swer the call to go into the game
when it comes.
Vast Reserve -s
The vast backfield reserve of
• Georgia will be ready, with Kil
patrick, Hatcher, Moore, Boland,
Estes, Morton, Broadnax, Kain,
Sherlock, Nelson, Dowiss, Hollis,
and McTigue. It is the greates
field of backs Georgia has ever
had.
Against this crowd of fleet ball
carriers, Tech will first throw- :
. Williams, Captain Douglas Wy
coff, Barron ’ and Sam Murray.
Back of this quartet of backs,
Tech has ready for instant ser
vice, Wright, who single handed,
won the Vanderbilt game, Brewer
McRae, Connaily, Sprick, Read,
Holland and Jamieson.
Tech and Georgia will Line ur
as follows:

-only -chan^te since it epened the
1925 campaign against Oglethorpe
September 27 is the change of Fair
into the place formedly occupied
by Six Carpenter at right tackle.
The Georgia line is the same as
that which opened the season
gainst Mercer, but the backfield
has a different appearance with
the exception of Moore at quarter,
Boland has been starting at full
back, and Hatcher and Kilpatrick
have been running as halves for
the Bulldogs most of the season.
Coach Woodruff apparently has
elected to either save hi* strength
of Kilpatrick and Hatcher for la
ter in the game, or save them on

'ech Heavier Team
Coach Alexander will send i t
heavier team on the field than the
jBulldcgs are. The line weight of
T^h is easily 12 pounds greatet
the man than Georgia’s line
we ight. The averages are Tech,
184 ^ pounds Georgia, 173 pounds,
n the backfield Tech picks up eon
s iderably in weight over Georgia,
f or Georgia backs, almost with
out exception, are. light. Tech’d !
backs, the first varsity quartet,
are heavy ranging nearly to 200
pounds. The starting lineups show
that as teams. Tech outweights
Georgia exactly 20 pounds to the
marl) Tech averaging 188 pounds
and Georgia 168 pounds,
The lightest man in Tech’s start
ing backfield is Carter Barron,
halfback, who tips the beam at
177 pounds. Against the lightest
man for Tech is Scrapy Moore,
Georgia quarterback, who weights
only 155 pounds. Morton weighs
156 pounds and Estes and Kain
are 165 pound men. Against the
light Bulldogs the Jacket backs
run as follows on weight: Captain
Wycoff, 195 pounds; Williams, 185
pounds, and Sam Murray, 190
pounds.
Georgia Speedy
The Bulldogs will maxe up for
the light weight in their speed
which has been described as phsn
omenal everywhere they have
played. Tech’s backs are fast in
starting, but not as fast as Gear
gia’s lighter backs.
The light weight in the Georgia
backfield has brought into use the
end run and forward pass as
Georgias greatest offensive wea
pons, while Tech, jjwith its power
f u i t tearing line and : heavy chrg
:ing backs,ihas played straight foot
j ball Florida to be.pt and Oglethorpe, V. M. I..
Penn State and hold
Alabama and Notre Dame to bare
margins of victory. The fast field
inclicated for today means that
Georgia wil be at her best with
her speed and Tech will have a
hard, firm footing for their line
ripping operations.
Result Is Doubtful
Tech has at no time this-year,
had to face the menace of an over
head attack as terrible as Geor
gia’s, which swamped Vanderbilt,
the team that Tech beat by Dick
Wright’s flashing 55-yard run for
the only touchdown of the game,
After swamping Vanderbilt by pil
ing up 26 points against the Com
modores, Georgia went to Knox
ville and there was defeated in
a most humiliating manner by the
[comparatively weak Tennessee
team that used line smashing, with
a raging forward wall that broke
down Georgia’s defense.
Neither of these games, how
ever, can be taken as dope on the
Tech-Georgia clash. It will be a

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. L4.~The Ar

gion has notified mayor Sims that
thv police department must either
give the large American
that flies at Five Points, the
proper respect or the Legion will
aee that the flag is foreyer re

But the police who direct traffic
at' Five Points are either too
busy watching Florida bound au
tomobiles or sweet young things
crossing the street that they have
fojrgotten “Old Glory”.
“It’s got to stop,” says Henry
Sirmons, commander of the local
Legion. Sirmons is a D. S, C. and
a Croix de Guerre medal man
from the recent Big War. He
also has medals for bravery in
the Phillipir.es an-d he is "deter

PREFEFABIf SAYS
Assistant Secretary Wilton
Cobb, of the Macon Chamber of
Commerce, who was in Griffin
Saturday morning oh his way to
Atlanta, states that tourists on
the way to Florida are being
routed incorrectly by persons who
tell them to detour around Macon
and “save 35 miles." Mr. Cobb
supports his statement with high
way figures showing that the
most desirable route is through
Macon.
“When one goes from Barnes
ville to Roberta and then to Per
ry, they actually save 7.6 miles.
But the road from Barnesville to
Perry is a narrow, slick dirt road
that is almost dangerous in wet
weather,” said Mr. Cobb.
“While on the other hand,” he
stated * ‘when one goes through
Macon they get 32 miles of paved
roads to offset the little differ-:
ence of 7.6 miles.”
“We don’t believe that people
are deliberately routing tourists
away from Macon, but rpther be
lieve that it is ignorance on their
part. We can back up our claims
with state highway mileage and
extend a cordial invitation to any
one and everyone to visit Macon.”
Mr. Cobb is well known in Grif
fin as he visits here frequsnUy.

A. Stovall, chairman of the

a statement in connection with
the recent dispatches from Wash
ington to the effect that friends
of the War President had turned
their backs on the proposed Wood

Mr. Stovall points out that dis
aproval was given to a proposed
college to be located in Washing
but that this action only
the claims of the
Georgia college as it has bten’Vn
dorsed by the close friends of the
late president.”
Stovall’s Statement
Mr. Stovall’s statement follows
“Georgia people who have rea:
the criticisms directed at the worl
by promoters of a university a
Washington to be known as th
Woodrow Wilson University
should not become alarmed. 1
will be recalled that the Valdosta
proposition has been developed urr
der proper auspices from the be
ginning in particular it has reeei
ved the endorsement of neaYl;
every prominent friend of Wood
row Wilson. The plans were ar
ranged by intimates of the Wa
President; the Democratic Nation:
i Convention endorsed, the Nation.n
American Legion and the American
Confederation of Labor has studied
the plans and proved, .them.
Leading citizens "bf, Geprgig, the

he lived here and because he mar
ried a Georgia girl are leading the
movement. Two of Wilson’s chil
dren were bom in Georgia and he
himself lived in Georgia from in
fancy until after he began the
practice of law. •*
Helps Georgia School
“These various facts give gres
strength to the Georgia proposi
tion. The lack of them brought
the Washington proposition un
der criticism. No one will question
the right of Georgia people to
inaugurate a memorial to a great
Georgia citizen.”
a The work of the people of Val
dosta in leading the movement to
establish the Georgia memorial
has been commented upon favor
ably throughout the civilized
world.’
